__________________The universe is the practical joke of the General at the expense of the Particular, quoth Frater Perdurabo, and laughed. The disciples nearest him wept, seeing the Universal Sorrow. Others laughed, seeing the Universal Joke. Others wept. Others laughed. Others wept because they couldn't see the Joke, and others laughed lest they should be thought not to see the Joke. But though FRATER laughed openly, he wept secretly; and really he neither laughed nor wept. Nor did he mean what he said.

Sale looked like he was pitching angry today. Fastball was hard and mean, and the slider was just nasty both in the low 80s and the mid 70s. What a performance. Guess he was sick of getting dinked around by Detroit this year.

Yeah, he was definitely overthrowing at points. He even threw his glove down on that long out by Tuiaspsospospaospsaopo.

This may be reading too much into it, but half way through this game I really felt like this team threw off the 2013 Sox and decided to start fresh. Sounds ridiculous but if they get better from here I think people will mark this game as a turning point.

Jose Iglesias made a play I think on a ball hit by Phegley that (to me) was quite reminiscent of Iguchi's crazy horizontal diving throw from 2006.

I don't know what their contract situation with Peralta is, but he could never even dream of pulling off a play like that. I had heard that Iglesias was quite the defender before tonight, and holy crap that was incredible.

Pointless question: Could the Sox have traded Peavey straight up for Iglesias and Detroit kept Avisyan Garciedo?
